I just laughed and laughed when I got the notification yesterday, because what else can you do. And of course Thursday is early dismissal and Friday is a teacher work day.
Thank God the before-school care program still opens on time. Not surprisingly, there were a lot more kids than usual being dropped off as soon as they opened this morning, lol.
Is that true about Thursday and Friday? Are you messing with a woman on the edge!?
K, between being sick and snow days, has not been to school in over two weeks. This is going to suck.
It's true
I thought that they might move the end of the grading period back, or skip the teacher work day, but they would have had to announce it already.
dreamcrisp1 - When do you plan on going? I am so happy for you that you are going to be able to visit your BF! And also slightly jealous.
I'll be going April 18 to May 4! I can't wait to see him and Cape Town. We're going to a penguin colony, cape of good hope, table mountain, Safari, and so much more. It's such a dream.
I'm excited for your trip though! I'm dying to go to that side of the world.
So, so jealous. You will have to post your pictures when you are back!
I've been to India before but this is my first time to Sri Lanka. This is going to be such a huge culture shock for my super Canadian H who grew up in the boonies lol.

I did an exercise video yesterday for the first time in approximately twenty million years and now it hurts to sit down or stand up. I am not looking forward to the next 89 days.
I'm going for my first ADHD appointment today and I'm nervous af. I was talking to my BFF who has bad anxiety and she says talking about it will make me feel better. I've talked about it to three people so far and I just feel worse every time.
I think DD was having night terrors last night and I'm feeling helpless about it. Maybe it was just a nightmare but she woke up very panicked, shaking, saying odd things and took a while to calm down. If it was a night terror I apparently responded wrong by picking her up and waking her (assuming she was still in some kind a weird sleep mode while panicking?). The second time I just talked to her reassuringly and she eventually calmed down.
She wanted a bunch of blankets on her last night so I'm really hoping it was just from being overheated and won't become a regular thing.
We went through a seemingly random week of this with E. Just a ton of moaning and thrashing. Did the same thing and tried to wake him up the first time. It was like he just couldn't wake up. After that, patting and shushing seemed to work the best, but it was a rough couple of nights because it happened every few hours. Then, it just stopped as randomly and quickly as it had started.Â
What confused me at first was that her eyes were open, but she was very unfocused and jerking her head around, but didn't seem to really be "looking" at them. She was pissed about her pillow and my robe I was wearing. Lots of "oh nos" and "I don't like it." Thanks for sharing I was really thrown off by it

Yup. Random yelling about things in the room on our end too. It's so freaky. Fingers crossed it was just a one time thing for y'all.
I keep seeing things about GBCN being linked to FB, what happened?
Some radio station somewhere (specific right? Sorry I have a horrible memory) had posted on their FB page (awhile ago, maybe 6 mos ago?) with a link to a GBCN post that referenced an article (instead of posting the actual article). It was the post about the kid ripping up his allowance.
I thought that they might move the end of the grading period back, or skip the teacher work day, but they would have had to announce it already.
Right? It's a little easier for us since before/after-school is open all day on teacher work days, but man, DD turns into a beast without routine. The last couple of weeks have been rough.
Olive, our 9 year old pug is getting her teeth cleaned today. Poor baby was shaking all the way to the vet. Plus she didn't get any breakfast so she's extra sad.

I'm really glad I sucked it up and made the drive to South OC and went to the party. It sucked driving down and took awhile but it was worth it. The party was at the cutest kids yoga and ballet studio. My girls loved it!! If any OC mommies are looking for a fun different party idea Grace + Zen in San Juan is adorable and the girls loved it!!!
I joined a brand new gym this weekend and I'm so excited to start working out again. This gym is amazing and they offer group training lessons and a few of my friends we all joined. It should be fun

We're under contract for a house! We've been looking since October. The market here is ridiculous. We've offered on 4 others and lost, even though we offered as much as 25k over list price.
Now we just need this house to appraise close to selling price. Ugh, my fingers are so crossed and my stomach is in knots.

DH got off to the airport all right in spite of the snow. He took my minivan, which drives terribly in snow, so I was worried. Like, put a shovel and kitty litter in the back for him worried. But he left early enough that he had no issues; it's supposed to get worse over the course of today. Now I'll just worry about his plane until he gets to CA.
I have a major deadline this week. UGH.
I feel like I'm losing my mind around ovulation. I'm hardly even PMSing any more, my psycho time of the month has shifted dramatically so my anxiety and anger ramp up mid-cycle and then I start to feel better just in time for my period to start. It sucks like hell for me, and is not great for our sex life.

Yes! They are both on the emotional side right now. And C has decided school is filled with terrible germs and no longer wants to go. We explained that if she just works hard to wash her hands well, especially after using the bathroom and before eating, she should be ok. Poor thing. I think she has my anxiety. :/
So, my friend and I who both had illnesses in our houses for the past two weeks also started her period the same time I did. I was laughing pretty hard and told her we definitely will deserve a pedicure or something when the dust settles.
I am counting down to spring, so that bastard groundhog better not see his damn shadow. You hear me, groundhog??
Started low carb last Sunday. At weigh in this Sunday I am already down 4 lbs. Just 4 more lbs until my pre XMAS weight and then 11 more lbs until I am at a weight I want to be at ( still not " thin" but a happy weight)
I'm worried about a bit of nerve pain in my hand. There's a weird tingly dull ache when i use my index finger and thumb. Is this the sort of thing I call urgent care about? Or is it just healing pains?

it can't hurt to call and ask. it might just be healing pains, but better to know for sure. how are you doing otherwise?

I CAN DO THIS!!!!
Congrats! I need to get back into a low carb diet. It's the only thing that works for me, but goddamn it's hard.

I'm okay, thanks. I stayed home today and I'm drinking a hot chocolate in an incredibly childish way to make myself feel better. I think it's my ego that hurts most.
Had a really good weekend away. H and I went to a marriage conference. It was really good and I think my H actually got into it. On the way home we were talking about it and he seems to finally get what I have been saying all this time. Even apologized and said that he will work on it. I am grateful but he has said that in the past and it hasn't really changed but I willing to wait and see.

This happened to us last week. It's never happened before. I just suddenly heard her screaming 'no mommy no!' In the most blood curdling scream sound I've ever heard. It was the sound of literal terror. I also made the mistake of picking her up, because frankly I was kind of panicking also. It took a very long time for her to calm down. Her heart was pounding and she thought she was going to puke. Later she told me that she wa dreaming that I fell down the chimney and then when I came in, I was wearing all black and it was dark and it just made her more scared. Hopefully this is a one off for both of us. It stayed with me for days.
I hate night terrors. C had her first at around 6-9 months. it was terrible. they are pretty infrequent, thank goodness.
I'm starting to feel like my life has settled, at least enough to start making long term plans.
I'm starting to look into service dog programs. Unfortunately, my location isn't the best for the type of dog I would need (many programs are regional), but there are at least a couple options.
And maybe- just maybe- I'm ready to talk to H about looking into our options for a house.
